VPC Peering scenario


Requirement:

Create 3 EC2 instances (Machine A, Machine B and Machine C)in 3 different VPCs(VPC A, VPC B, VPC C). We should be able to do SSH from Machine A to Machine B and from Machine B to Machine C.
However, we should NOT be allowed to Machine B to Machine A as well as Machine C to Machine B

Solution:

1.       Create two VPC with CIDR Range 10.0.1.0/24, 10.0.2.0/24 & 10.0.3.0/24
2.       Create Subnet in respective VPC with range same as VPC CIDR
3.       Create two Internet Gateway and attach to respective VPC.
4.       In default Route Table add the default Rule (0.0.0.0/0) and target to Internet Gateway.
5.       Create Peering connections (for VPC Peering)
a.       Select the Source as VPC A and destination as VPC B
b.       Accept the Peering request
c.       Select the Source as VPC B and destination as VPC C
d.       Accept the Peering request
6.       Edit Route table A and add the route to VPC B CIDR Range and target to VPC Peering
7.       Edit Route table B and add the route to VPC A CIDR Range and target to VPC Peering
8.       Edit Route table B and add the route to VPC C CIDR Range and target to VPC Peering
9.       Edit Route table C and add the route to VPC B CIDR Range and target to VPC Peering
10.   Create three EC2 instances (VM) in the respective VPC.
11.   Edit the default NACL of VPC A
·       Edit the inbound rule to deny login from VPC B CIDR range
12.       Edit the default NACL of VPC B
·        Edit the Inbound rule to deny from VPC C CIDR Range
 
13.       Login to Machine A and check if you should be able to ssh to Machine B. And Machine B to machine C.
a.       Machine A to Machine B (Successful SSH)
b.       Machine B to Machine C (Successful SSH)
14.       SSH should not be possible from Machine B to Machine A and Machine C to machine B
a.       Machine B to Machine A (Unsuccessful SSH)
 
b.       Machine C to Machine B (Unsuccessful SSH)

NAT Instance

NAT Instance Requirement: Create EC2 instance in private Subnet and provide Internet access using NAT Instance Solution: 1.        Create One VPC with CIDR Range 10.0.0.0/16 2.       Create a private Subnet with CIDR Range 10.0.1.0/24 3.       Create a public Subnet with CIDR Range 10.0.2.0/24 4.       Create One Internet Gateway and assign to VPC. 5.       Create one custom Route table and associate Public Subnet. a.        Create a global route (0.0.0.0/0) and target to IGW 6.       Associate private subnet to default Route table 7.       Launch the Nat instance using the template from Community AMIs in public Subnet with Public IP enabled. 8.       Select the Nat Instance created à Action à Networking à Change Source/Dest. Check à   Yes, Disable button. 9.       Launch another EC2 instance in private Subnet with only Private IP. 10.   Note the Instance ID of the NAT Instance and identify the Network Interface ID from Network Interfac

Install Active directory and federate with AWS account

Active Directory and Federated user creation Requirement: Create users in Active Directory and provide selective access to AWS services. Solution: Create EC2 Windows machine (OS version 2008/2012/2016) Configure AD in windows machine Configure DNS Server Configure PTR record in DNS Create test users in AD Reset the Administrator user password in AD Create Directory service in IAM Create role and policy in Directory Service and establish trust. Create AWS Domain/console URL to access from federated user Enable management console access to Domain URL.  Add users in Directory service Test the access for federated users Detailed steps: Create AD and create users in AD. Should be able to login to AWS Console with selective access. 1.        Launch a Windows 2012 R2 instance in custom VPC and subnet. a.        Create the VPC with CIDR range 10.0.0.0/16 b.        Create two public subnet with CIDR range 10.0.1.0/24 and 10.0.2.0/24 c.
